PA enraged over Kerry snub
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePalestinian sources tell the Saudi-owned daily A-Sharq Al-Awsat that the Palestinian Authority is furious with US Secretary of State John Kerry for not consulting with it about his ceasefire initiative.
The sources tell the daily that PA President Mahmoud Abbas angrily lashed out at French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius in a phone conversation, asking him, ‘Why didn’t you call me?’ in reaction to a Paris meeting to which Qatar and Turkey were invited, but not Egypt or the PA.
Fatah, Abbas’s party, issued an angry statement on Saturday, saying: “Those who want Qatar or Turkey to represent them should go live there. The PLO is the only legitimate representative of the Palestinians.”
